John Kerry "Very Disturbed" By Iran Vow To Defy American Policies

Surprise!
Just days after the 'deal' to bring world peace a little closer amid much
crowing by the Obama administration (ahead of Congress' 60-day decision
process), Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday vowed to defy American policies in a speech
punctuated by chants of "Death to America" and "Death to
Israel". As Reuters reports, US Secretary of
State John Kerry said the speech was "if
it is the policy, it's very disturbing, it's very troubling," seemingly
surprised at the rhetoric.

Khamenei told supporters on Saturday that U.S. policies in the region were "180 degrees" opposed to
Iran's, at a speech in a Tehran mosque punctuated by chants of "Death to America" and "Death
to Israel"."Even after
this deal our policy toward the arrogant U.S. will not change," Khamenei
said. As Reuters reports,

"I
don't know how to interpret it at this point in time, except to take it at face
value, that that's his policy," John Kerry said in the interview with
Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television, parts of which the network quoted on
Tuesday.

"But
I do know that often comments are made publicly and things can evolve that are
different. If it is the policy,
it's very disturbing, it's very troubling," he added.
